Kuta, Indonesia

Me and Katie  cached a bus that morning to get her to the airport and myself to Kuta. I met up with Cornelia the same night, who I met during my open water course in January and a few other times during our travels. She and 3 of her friends just arrived from Sweden on their way to Australia. We went out for dinner and beer to celebrate their arrival and our first night together. The next morning I moved in to their room, and we spend the day at our hostel pool before going shopping cause one of Cornelia's friend lost her bag as well (at the airport so she'll probably get it back). Later on we met a few local friends who brought us back to their place where they'd cooked us a typical local meal. We played some games together for a few hours before heading back out. 

I tried surfing for the first time, in which I did very well. Managed to stand up on my second try and it was good fun. After a few hours on the beach we met up with Elis who finished his open water diving course, and arrived back to Kuta. We met another Swedish guy in the bar the same night so in the end it was seven of us hanging out. We headed down to the beach again the next morning to go surfing again. This time we got ourselves a teacher to be sure we're doing it the right way. It wasn't really necessary to be honest, since the only thing they did was to give us some more speed by pushing us through the waves. I do like it better to learn by myself even if a did get some good tips. The waves was very big and the currents really strong which makes it a bit harder for us beginners. We tried it again the next day as all seven of us headed down to the beach again. The waves wasn't too good though so none of us were doing very well compared to the last days. Can't wait to try it in Australia too. 

That night we went out for drinks again since it was about to be the last opportunity for all of us to go out together. The Swedish guy've been here several times before and know the right places to go too. After a few beers and a late night we woke up with a hangover that wasn't able to take us back surfing. Instead all of us went to the beach sleeping and playing beach ping pong. We went out for dinner buffet and card game at the hotel before saying goodbye to eachother since I was about to catch an early flight to Singapore and the girls heading to Ubud. I'll meet them and Elis down in Australia in some point. Looking forward to that.
